Tonight’s World Series Game 3 at Dodger Stadium sets up as a prop bettor’s paradise. Glasnow’s brutal whiff profile, roughly a 10.5 K/9 in 2025 and elite Statcast whiff/spin metrics, make his 7+ strikeout ceiling a genuine value spot.While Max Scherzer’s age and contact-first approach this year have far fewer Ks than his peak, it pushes the edge toward under-K tickets and team-total swings.Add Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s red-hot October form and the Dodgers’ deep lineup at home, and we’ve got a board thick with opportunity across strikeout lines, hitter total bases, and moneyline markets. Check final lineups and the late bullpen peeks, then play the edges.Note: Odds are set by DraftKings Sportsbook and are subject to change. No outcome can be guaranteed when betting on sports.Today’s 5 Best MLB Prop Bets for Blue Jays vs Dodgers World Series Game 3#5. Max Scherzer: Strikeouts Under 4.5 (−158)The season and postseason data strongly support the under here: Scherzer’s 2025 regular season was a low-K year by his standards at 82 K on for the regular season, and his October sample so far shows modest punchout totals, logging five postseason Ks in 5.5 innings.At age 41, Scherzer has shifted more toward an economy-and-command profile, attacking the zone, inducing weak contact, and trusting his defense, which reduces the likelihood of a 5+ K explosion in a single start.Unless there’s a specific matchup that historically boosts his whiff rate or the Blue Jays’ lineup is unusually chase-prone in this spot, the under 4.5 strikeouts is a data-backed, situationally sensible fade of the old high-K Scherzer template.#4. Dodgers Moneyline (−206)Los Angeles will have home-field advantage in Game 3, elite depth across the rotation and bullpen, and a lineup capable of punishing mistakes, which is why market models and sportsbooks commonly peg their win probability well above 60%.The Dodgers showed they can answer after Game 1, Yamamoto’s Game 2 gem, and Los Angeles’s lineup balance make a -200ish moneyline an accurate market reflection of their win probability tonight.#3. Will Smith: Hits + Runs + RBIs 2+ (−117)Will Smith has been an impact piece for the Dodgers this postseason and delivered a huge Game 2 night with a homer and three RBIs, showing he’s both a high-usage RBI man and capable of multi-category games.Smith’s 2025 regular-season line and his recent World Series production make a 2+ combined H+R+RBI ticket very plausible: a two-base night, a homer, or a single-and-RBI sequence will all cash this prop, and at −117 you’re backing a middle-order bat who’s already shown he can deliver in high leverage.#2. Dodgers Team Total: Over 4.5 Runs (−120)Los Angeles has the lineup depth to clear five runs in a game when they get chances, The Dodgers put up a multi-run win in Game 2, and their season numbers show sustained offensive power.Against a veteran like Scherzer, an early mistake or a bullpen window can quickly flip a low-scoring script; given LA’s complete lineup firepower and the probability of productive late-inning matchups, expecting five or more Dodgers runs is reasonable, and the over 4.5 is a solid team-total target at the listed price.#1. Tyler Glasnow: Strikeouts Over 6.5 (+127)Backing Glasnow to record 7+ strikeouts at plus-money is a classic value swing when the market underprices his true whiff ceiling.In 2025, Glasnow posted 106 Ks (about a 10.5 K/9), and his Statcast profile shows elite whiff and spin metrics that consistently generate swings-and-misses, while his postseason resume this year includes strong K-per-inning production.The path to 7+ Ks is straightforward: Glasnow attacks the zone early with high-spin breaking stuff and forces long counts, piling up punchouts multiple times through the order, and at +127, it's getting paid to back a pitcher who, by numbers and history, clears this threshold more often than the market implies.
